[quote=Anonymous]Ward 6 elementary 2nd grade -- 15 minutes of homework plus 20 minutes reading practice nightly.

However homework will almost certainly be done at aftercare most days. The aftercare teachers are amazing with this and encourage the kids to spend 10-20 minutes on homework or reading before going to play or join an activity. Usually I just look it over when she gets home and ask any questions as needed (this is as much for my benefit as hers as it's just for me to keep pace with what she's learning).

Reading practice has never been an issue and I generally don't even push it. We still read to her nightly for around 30 minutes because we enjoy it. Then after we read she'll read a book of her choice before going to sleep. She reads well above grade level and at this point in the day has often already done 30 minutes or more of solo reading so I barely pay attention to it.

So I guess we spend almost no time with her on homework but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any or that we aren't involved or keeping up with it.[/quote]
